CHAPTER TWENTY
KITCHENAID MODEL K-5SS
1978 K5SS replaced the K-5A as the new solid state version.
ATTACHMENTS
Coffee/cereal grinder.

Ice cream maker
Pelican slicer
Rotary slicer
Meat grinder

Post-war versions of the attachment (that went with the K5-A, K4-B, 3C, 4C, and so on) lack the indicator and were first made with both wood buckets. If I recall correctly, the wood-bucket units were made in two sizes. At some point the wood bucket was replaced with the green fiberglass unit, which came with a reversible stand that allowed use on either of KA's mixer offerings (tilt head or bowl lift).

Thank you so much for your visit and kind comment. You're doing an invaluable service by posting these educational (and fascinating) chapters In the history of KitchenAid mixers.
ReplyDeleteI recently acquired my 4th KA mixer, definitely vintage (it's avocado!) complete with a grater/shredder w. metal housing. Only $10 at a moving sale!
Color me HAPPY!
Thank you again ...
